Hans majestäts drake

1. 256
   Första befälet av Patrick O'Brian (lorax)

   lorax: The Napoleonic Wars, just with no dragons. Better-written than Hornblower and with much stronger characterization.

2. 122
   Drakryttarna av Anne McCaffrey (justjukka)

   justjukka: Both Novik and McCaffrey take great care in developing the worlds for their respective series. If you like one, you may very well like the other.

3. 92
   Kadett Hornblower av C. S. Forester (DWWilkin)

   DWWilkin: If you like the time period, no better way to start then with the first popular series about Age of Sail

4. 71
   Leviathan av Scott Westerfeld (PghDragonMan, Caramellunacy)

   Caramellunacy: Both are alternate history/fantasy novels with a distinct nautical flair. His Majesty's Dragon is set during the Napoleonic Wars - just with dragons (obviously) as a sort of Air Navy - complete with crew. Leviathan is set during an alternate WWI between the Darwinists (who have living ships & weapons) and the Clankers (who use machines).… (mer)

5. 40
   The Dragon and the George av Gordon R. Dickson (infiniteletters)
6. 63
   Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell av Susanna Clarke (ErlendSkjelten)

   ErlendSkjelten: Much heavier fare than Temeraire, but all the more enjoyable for it. The Napoleonic wars, with magicians instead of dragons.

7. 30
   Airborn av Kenneth Oppel (elbakerone)

   elbakerone: Another interesting and well written historical fantasy.

8. 20
   Dragonhaven av Robin McKinley (infiniteletters)
9. 31
   Eon: Dragoneye Reborn av Alison Goodman (notemily)

   notemily: DRAGONS!

    Opening Atlantis av Harry Turtledove (PghDragonMan)
11. 32
    A Natural History of Dragons av Marie Brennan (TomWaitsTables)
12. 10
    Lord of the Changing Winds av Rachel Neumeier (noneofthis)
13. 10
    Midshipwizard Halcyon Blithe av James M. Ward (amysisson)

    amysisson: In this case, the dragon *is* the ship, and the main character is younger and less experienced, but otherwise they have a similar feel....

14. 00
    The Dragon and the Thief av Gillian Bradshaw (TomWaitsTables)
15. 00
    Elephant Company: The Inspiring Story of an Unlikely Hero and the Animals Who Helped Him Save Lives in World War II av Vicki Croke (2wonderY)

    2wonderY: This is a real life story of a man whose all encompassing relationship with elephants, one in particular, echo that between Laurence and Temeraire.

16. 01
    Dragon Companion av Don Callander (infiniteletters)
17. 12
    Sorcery and Cecelia, or, The Enchanted Chocolate Pot av Patricia C. Wrede (carlyrose)

    carlyrose: A bit lighter and for perhaps a younger audience, but also an alternate history dealing with the Napoleonic Wars.

18. 12
    The Fire Rose av Mercedes Lackey (FFortuna)
19. 01
    Cast in Shadow av Michelle Sagara (leahsimone)
20. 15
